Gladstone Welcomes ReefTO Summit As Voice For Great Barrier Reef  

Back in late September, Gladstone held the ReefTO Summit at the GECC over two days, establishing an Alliance within the organisation as a step towards strengthening the connections between Reef Traditional Owner groups in Queensland.  

Cultural groups from the Eastern Islands of the Torres Strait all the way down to Bundaberg joined together on Bailai, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng and Taribelang Bunda land to set the direction of the newly founded ReefTO Alliance, electing two interim Co-Chairs as the Alliance’s inaugural People’s Leaders, and celebrating outstanding achievements at the Gala Dinner and ReefTO Awards ceremony, bringing everyone together with music and storytelling across the three categories of Honour, Respect and Hope.
